There were far worse presidents than Bush. Fucking Andrew Johnson tried to invalidate the entire Civil War. If that's not worse than Bush, then I don't know what is. Bush was basically a product of the mess Clinton left behind.

Pick one and ONLY one.

I agree he's not the best, but to say he's the number 1 worst is something I don't think is great.

Unless we're putting it with the context of the time. For example, it's easy to say James Buchanan was bad because he supported slavery, but at the time it was as controversial and flip floppy as abortion is with people today.

So yeah, if that's the case, maybe Bush was the worst.

Wait till i'm president

The next one will likely be the worst one.

Adams was much worse. Jefferson didn't call his term in office the "Reign of Witches" for nothing.

This didnt need a lock.

Thread opened because there was no reason to lock this. The discussion is political in nature, contains a source, and there's no flood tier bait in the OP.

I have half a mind to clean up the thread and remove the "this is the serious board posts".

Thank you. That lock confused the shit outta me.

I feel like the writer just has a hate boner for Bush.

Fucking look at it. The "this is the serious board comments" are valid; how anybody can buy into such partisan bullshit is beyond me.



1. Worst rate of job creation since Herbert Hoover? Surely, if we're using this metric, Herbert Hoover should be classed as worst? Nevertheless, how much influence do you expect a president to have over job creation when his entire tenure saw a mild recession, a productivity boom and then a massive recession?

2. Oh no, he vacationed.

3. Most of the deficit was due to tax receipt shortfalls following the recession; although the Bush tax cuts no doubt played a role.

4. Who in their right mind opposes bank bailouts in the middle of a recession? First of all, the bailouts have been paid back. Second of all, no, bankers didn't cause the Great Depression.

Who in their right mind opposes bank bailouts in the middle of a recession?

I take it you didn't watch the previous Republican debate.

Woodrow Wilson basically started WWII so fuck that guy

Woodrow Wilson basically started WWII so fuck that guy

I know America is important, but if you think we're the sole reason, let alone one man, the cause of starting WW2, then you're heavily misguided. That's not even factoring in Japan's territorial expansion, Russia invading Poland as well, and Italy bring up Fascism.

The allies in general are to blame for Germany's rise to power once more. What with the unfair demands and their lack of power to enforce what they even wanted to do.

You're right.

I should blame him for making the joke that is the UN.

But Windrow Wilson tried to push for the League of Nations (which sounds like a super villain faction) but congress rejected it because of the enforcement powers it had. The US was never a part of it.

The UN only came to be after World War 2 because of the devastation it caused the world.

That infographic is full of shit, but feel free to get your opinions from someone's unsupported criticism online.
